Ghost Chapter 35 (Reminiscences) A Man's Friendship and First Acquaintance
"Hey, Clint, if I play again next time, will you remind me?" asked Mark.
"Well...... Of course, who will pay back the 3,000 gold you owe me?" Clint said angrily.
"Labor is worth 3,000 gold coins?" Mark asked aloud as he picked up Mads' shell armor.
"Yes, and it's worth someone to help you with their lives!" Clint said with his eyes closed.
Mark's eyes, which felt a little warm, went back to a few years ago......
............
After the discovery of the Moon Continent, the major old empires have carried out bloody colonial expansion, some of which are crazy to make profits, and some of them have lost in this political contest and there are not a few countries that want to sell underwear.
And with the beginning of the century, a corridor full of gray trade was formed in the sphere of influence of the major empires. There is no formal government, and the so-called mayor of the town is just a matter of buying officials and becoming knights. The reason for this is that a large amount of hard currency - gold has been found in this gray corridor area!
When the major empires intrigued with each other but were unable to dominate the country, this gray area was promoted, and the triangle area between the English Empire, the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of Spain - the Golden Triangle!
Muskets, gangsters, sheriffs, horses, cacti, taverns, deserts, caravans, are the most famous symbols.
Four years ago, Mark first encountered Cint on the black market in the Moon Continent. At that time, Mark was looking for the treasure left behind by a pirate who had absconded back to the Moon Continent.
While hunting for treasure, he met a young man who was slightly older than himself and was engaged in a duel with the biggest local force!
In the lawless zone where force reigns supreme, Absolutely lawless is the most powerful armed group.
Growing up in a chaotic and lawless landscape, they have brilliant shooting skills, robust bodies, and a way of life that values more than their own lives.
They like to experience the thrill of victory in intense battles, and they see this lifestyle as one of the great joys of life. But it was not them who fell in the end, but the enemy who blocked their advance and the guns that exploded due to overheating.
"Hey, little cub!" a leading guy on the other side looked at Clint in front of him coldly and said, "Killing my six brothers is like leaving?
"I don't know who you are, but if you get in my way, you will die if you rob my goods!" Clint said with a fierce light, and it was hard to imagine that this was the tone of a teenager who had just come of age.
"Okay, let's duel!
The two of them are no more than 100 steps apart, and it looks like it's about the size of a thumb, and if you want to hit an era when there is basically no crosshair, in addition to having enough skills, luck is sometimes necessary!
The air under the heat wave even stagnated a little in the eyes of the two of them, and Clint had to be quick to shoot from the gun to the shot, and Cint trusted his gun very much, because every time he wiped the gun, he could feel the joy and sorrow of the gun. His spear has a soul, so before every duel, he can feel it.
Steady breathing, staring intently at your opponent, condensed air, stagnant time.
“BOOM!”
Shoot, shoot, all in one go!
Clint retracted his gun, reloaded the gunpowder, put it away, and watched his target fall. Because here in the Golden Triangle, there will be people at any time, and it is necessary to load the musket at any time.
Being so young and having the power of being as powerful as those old fritters who have been mixed up for decades was completely shocked in the eyes of Mark who was passing by, but what shocked him even more was that Clint actually had a jewel around his waist, and the point was that the knotting technique of the rope that tied the orb was clearly a sailor's knot that only sailors would tie.
Some people knot and turn around a long time but it is useless, and it is loosened with a light pull. However, many strong sailors' knots are quite strong, mainly because the knots made by sailors must withstand the wind and sun and blisters, be stable for a long time, and are easy to knot and untie.
Finally, because the Golden Triangle is inland, it takes two days and two nights to ride a horse from the nearest seaside. So with the attitude of giving it a try, Mark decided to try to strike up Clint, but was unimpressed by either the drink or the cards.
It wasn't until outside the tavern that Cint passed by an old man when the old man suddenly said, "It's easy for a young man like you to rush forward with all his blood, but he doesn't have time to consider whether it's right to do so." I've been through these things before...... But now that I'm older, I have more time to think. If you know how to think, you will be a smart person in the eyes of others. What do you think you're going to do? It seems to me that you're ...... Hahaha! Forget it, forget it, the young man is still a little impulsive, don't talk about it, don't talk about it!"
Clint looked the old man in front of him up and down, he looked at least seventy years old, but his face was still radiant and energetic, and the depth in his eyes was full of the breath of age.
"Sir, what you said is not unreasonable, I have been taught. With a brief gesture of politeness, Cint turned and left.
"Do you have to be taught some lessons?" the old man said, "The lawless gang has already brought people here, I advise you to go and complete the entrustment first......
Clint's heart shuddered, and a chill ran down his spine, he didn't tell anyone what he was here for......
"Old gentleman...... You...... Who the hell is it?" asked Clint tentatively. The right hand was also slightly tilted towards the musket at his waist.
"Huh...... It's old stuff...... I don't remember my name either, they call me Tsar!"
"Isn't the Tsar in Russia? What kind of Tsar is this......" Mark complained on the side.
But Clint, who was on the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Emperor of the Desert, Shalan, lawless people?"
"Hehe, the little guy is right. But I've been out for a long time, but now lawlessness has long since changed its taste. A bunch of little cubs who can't hold up the wall in the mud......" Shalan said.
After Sha Lan finished speaking, he pointed to Mark who was happily playing soy sauce on the side and said: "Today's duel between them, you even secretly started it, although it does not meet the rules of the duel, but this is a lawless zone, so the rules are invalid." ”
Clint who was still in the dark on the side recalled this time, why was today's duel so easy? There were also people secretly helping, although it was a little uncomfortable, but Clint couldn't dwell on anything, just thank you for being perfunctory.
But suddenly Clint felt a chill down his spine, and he carefully recalled what the old man had just said, the poisonous needle, can you find a poisonous needle fired by Mark at a distance of more than twenty meters, oh my God, this kind of observation is really terrifying......
Clint looked at Sha Lan's eyes, he knew that if it was Sha Lan who came to the door today to face off, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Out of inner jealousy, Cint resisted, so after a few polite words with Tsar Shalan, Mark and Cint left. As soon as the two of them left, the town behind them followed at least dozens of fierce and vicious guys.
